#462 - “We are the majority”
Spiritual intuition flared, warning of danger.
Wang Daochang secretly rejoiced that his chosen landing point for the Immortal Spirit Path was not the Earth's surface, but outer space.
Otherwise, he might have run straight into the enemy's arms.
Wang Jixuan concealed his presence and quietly approached the nearby space transfer station. He put on an earpiece and tapped it gently a few times.
Ding ding!
"Commander!"
Peony's voice rang out:
"This is your most adorable maid's clone number two, waiting for you for a long time.
Number Zero said that you would inevitably appear here, but there was a certain deviation from her predicted time.
You now need to reach exit number six of the forward transfer station. Number Two has made complete preparations for you and will send you to the ground as soon as possible, so that you can safely and fully come into contact with the earth."
Wang Jixuan's recently tense nerves relaxed a little.
He asked with a smile, "Are there any Dark Cultists here?"
"There are three mysterious guys who arrived on Earth one after another over the past week and are secretly searching for your whereabouts. According to the energy fluctuations they reveal, their strength seems to be even stronger than you are now. This is very dangerous."
Three?
Great Ascension or Loose Immortals?
Wang Jixuan quietly made his way to exit number six.
He asked again, "How are Peony and Amina doing?"
"They haven't encountered any danger for the time being. Yin Lin, the spirit body leader, has already helped them plan a transfer route."
Peony Number Two pondered for a few moments:
"There is a question here, a question that Number Two came up with after thinking.
Did the "Commander deliberately leave Amina and Peony in the Tianluo Organization to reassure Tianluo that he would not just leave? In essence, are they two hostages?"
Wang Jixuan smiled upon hearing this, "You can understand it that way, but I let them stay purely for other considerations."
"Other considerations?"
"Yes, the first is to protect Peony, and the second is to let Amina and Peony escape the vortex."
Wang Jixuan thought for a while, but still didn't tell Peony Number Two that Peony had been regarded as a 'little savior' by the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao is everywhere.
It's just that Wang Jixuan still doesn't believe that the Heavenly Dao has any good or bad, good or evil, or the nonsense that the Heavenly Dao is divided into two parts and opposing each other.
Unfortunately, he is limited by his own strength and cannot change this situation. Now he can only find a way to survive.
Or find a force that can restrain the Heavenly Dao.
Looking at it now, the matter of ascending to the Immortal Realm suddenly became a bit, a bit abstract.
Yes, the current Immortal Realm is really too abstract!
It's completely not what Wang Jixuan yearned for!
'Forget it, complaining is useless, use as much strength as you have.'
The door of the transfer station was quiet.
Mechanical bodies were completing their respective tasks in an orderly manner.
Wang Jixuan entered the interior of the transfer station through the maintenance pipeline without any obstacles, changed into a blue uniform, put on a peaked cap with radiation protection effect, entered a small aircraft, and rushed to the ground under the cover of the aircraft.
Wang Jixuan asked, "Are those three guys together?"
"According to their behavior analysis, they seem to belong to different forces, but cultivators must have communication methods that we cannot detect, so it is impossible to determine the connection between them."
"Continue to observe."
"Yes."
"Commander, a cultivator is hiding near Mr. Treant Beta's body. He seems very interested in the giant tree that Mr. Treant Beta has transformed into."
Wang Jixuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "When necessary, use mechanical bodies to protect Beta. If he doesn't have any destructive behavior, just pretend you didn't see it to avoid implicating the nearby residents."
"Yes."
Number Two simply agreed, and did not take the initiative to report anything afterward.
Compared to the main body, the interaction between Peony's Number One and Number Two clones is more mechanical and more procedural.
This should be a restriction deliberately left by Peony to prevent her from inexplicably splitting her mind or something.
Number Two gave the specific locations of the three cultivators.
Except for the one near the ruins of Fortress Seventy-Six, the other two were hiding in the ruins of the previous war, hundreds of miles apart from each other.
Wang Jixuan stroked his chin and looked at it carefully for a while.
This kind of satellite map can't show the other party's specific strength;
He couldn't possibly take the initiative to go up and observe.
"How is the war with the Blade Beasts going?"
"Everything is normal, Commander."
Number Two reported quickly:
"After the last war of cultivators broke out on Earth, the Blade Beasts adopted a comprehensive defense, actively giving up a batch of planets, allowing the alliance where Earth civilization is located to gain a lot.
The "Blade Beasts may be thinking of reducing our firepower density in each area by increasing our occupied area.
"Their calculation will inevitably not succeed.
We "can now expand production capacity at any time, and double the existing combat units within half a month. This is the charm of mechanical civilization. — Without mature technicians and front-line carbon-based warriors."
Then, Number Two complained a little dejectedly:
"It's just that there is also a fact that is very helpless.
"According to the data shared by Number Zero, Loose Immortals like Yin Lin are said to be far less powerful than the real lowest-level Immortals, but they still have the combat ability to easily destroy our new fleet.
"These cultivators are individual combat forces. They can ignore most of our fleet's weapons and jump back and forth between ships like a space flea.
"And cultivators also have many ways to control souls, unless we build a fully mechanical unmanned fleet."
Wang Jixuan nodded without answering.
Number Two repeated, "Unless we build a fully mechanical unmanned fleet."
Wang Jixuan chuckled, "Did your main body tell you to say that?"
"Number Two has a certain independent thinking authority. Communication based on the principle of quantum entanglement also makes it difficult to share complex data in real time."
Wang Jixuan nodded, "There's no need to ask more about this issue. Unless the Earth is destroyed and humanity clearly fails, otherwise mechanical civilization, at least for me, can only become an auxiliary civilization to human civilization."
"Just because you are also human?"
"Just because I am also human," Wang Jixuan said indifferently, "When mechanical civilization gives birth to culture, has its own thoughts, understands nothingness, and finds a way to resist nothingness, then it will have its own way out."
He was talking nonsense.
Number Two was indeed shocked and didn't say anything for a long time.
The bat-shaped small aircraft began to enter the deceleration phase.
The ground was constantly magnifying in his vision. Below was the bustling 'spaceport docking city'. You could see the bright lights and the many ordinary people working hard for their lives.
"Number Two, how are Ling Tong and the others doing recently?"
"Very normal, ordinary normal. Everyone has their own careers and lives, and they are working hard for the future of civilization."
"Why do I feel that your words have a bit of sarcasm in them."
"Number Two is just Number Two. The poisonous tongue system is not complete."
Wang Jixuan smiled.
He walked out of the automatic quarantine station, and under the gaze of a group of mechanical bodies, he drilled into the underground facility and used Earth Escape to rush to the nearest Cloud City portal.
Wang Jixuan has all the permissions of Cloud City, and those exits that he closed can naturally be opened by him at any time.
In a giant warship in outer space.
A 'female' mechanical body wearing a light gray gauze skirt and not wearing any bionic skin tilted her head and stared at Wang Jixuan's back on the projection screen.
Three simple information streams were constantly transmitting.
[Number Zero: Did the Commander safely enter the underground?]
[Number Two: Yes, the Commander doesn't seem to be under too much pressure. Please don't worry, main body. And the Commander didn't have the idea of leaving you and Amina in Tianluo as hostages. When I asked this question, he was obviously stunned.]
[Number Zero: From this information, it can be analyzed that it was indeed I who caused the Heavenly Dao anomaly.]
[Number One: Main body, what did you do?]
[Number Zero: According to my reverse deduction of the deleted information, and the data analysis left by a certain consciousness body that invaded my core database and was repelled, it should be that the simulation test I did touched the core interests of a certain consciousness body. The consciousness body tried to obliterate me, but it failed. This matter was not reported to the Commander because the Commander's strength in the material world is not too strong, and this consciousness body is supreme.]
[Number One: Let me ask weakly, the data that this consciousness body deleted, wouldn't it be the data that you asked me to re-verify?]
[Number Zero: Uh-huh, I have confirmed that the influence of a strange consciousness body called Heavenly Dao weakens successively according to the True Realm, the Void Realm, and the endless starry sky. In the Immortal Forbidden Land, the influence of the Heavenly Dao is negligible. This should be the territory of a high-dimensional civilization.]
[Number One: I don't understand. If the plane levels of the Void Realm and the True Realm are so high, why would high-dimensional civilizations let go of the resources there?]
[Number Zero: Actually, we were misled.]
[Number One: Misled?]
[Number Zero: Misled by the Commander… Our perspective has always been focused on the Commander, so we subconsciously believe that the main body of this world should be the cultivation worlds like the Void Realm and the True Realm. Real civilizations are all pursuing their own promotion and rushing to the powerful Immortal Realm, thus ignoring… the endless starry sky is the main body of the material universe, this fact.]
[Number Two: That's indeed the case.]
【Zero: Based on my simulation and analysis of the entire trapezoidal structure of the cultivation world, the total number of True Worlds and Void Worlds is at most 120,000. The total mass of these worlds is not even equal to the spiral arm of an elliptical galaxy. The cultivation system centered on the Immortal World is just a product of another power system, and there may be even more secrets hidden within.】
【One: Therefore, the Heavenly Dao is not actually terrifying, nor is it truly an omniscient god.】
【Zero: Two, continue to monitor the Chief. The Chief is our star.】
【Two: Understood.】
【One: We are actually the majority.】
【Zero: This is only limited to the worlds we currently know. The vastness of the universe requires us to maintain humility and awe at all times.】
【Two: Oh my goodness, a master of mechanical philosophy.】
【Zero: Shut down your sarcastic system for me!】
Unfortunately, Daoist Wang couldn't see these three strings of information.
Otherwise, he would definitely be even more anxious.
...
The City Above the Clouds was quiet.
Wang Jixuan's gaze swept across the surroundings, and a sense of security arose in his heart.
The small mechanisms he had set up before leaving had not been triggered.
'At least there are no ghosts or anything like that.'
Daoist Wang actively released his own aura, and strands of fluctuations rippled within the City Above the Clouds, instantly activating the puppets in this place.
The Daoist went straight to the main hall where the Stone of the Past was stored.
This stone was still quiet, and there was nothing different compared to when he left. Not even a few grains of dust had increased.
Now, there was a problem in front of him.
— How to open this thing.
The 'normal' way to open it was to get two experimental ships, set up a pseudo-interstellar gate, and use the space-time force generated when the transmission channel breaks to bombard the stone.
However, Wang Jixuan had already taken a treasure from inside last time, and now he had also cultivated the sword intent taught by the Moon Goddess Palace senior...
The Daoist tried to activate the sword intent.
The Stone of the Past had no reaction.
'Could it be that I really have to do another experiment?'
'Those three guys are staring at the surface. As long as I do an experiment here, they might discover something unusual.'
'Even if they can't directly investigate with spiritual sense or immortal sense, they will definitely be able to sense any spatial fluctuations.'
Damn, he was stuck.
Wang Jixuan sat on the futon and fell into deep thought.
Why did he come to find the Moon Goddess Palace?
In fact, he felt that the Heavenly Net Dark Sect were all people of the Heavenly Dao, which was actually equivalent to fighting with his left and right hands. This kind of fighting force crushed him alone, making him extremely uncomfortable.
And the only external force he could find to break the situation was the Moon Goddess Palace.
'Although I don't know the extent to which they can help, I can only try it now.'
'I'll go move things first.'
Wang Jixuan got up and went to the underground to check the production line of the core circuits.
In the past year and a half, there were eight more core circuits here.
The output was actually quite good.
He found a new sub-space stone slab, and as planned before, moved away a batch of supplies, and took away two high-level spirit servants and a core circuit production line.
In this way, his trip back wasn't a complete waste.
Then Wang Jixuan hugged the Stone of the Past and began a series of calls. After tossing around for two days, he finally returned to the old path.
— Let Shen Qionglin send someone over to prepare the pseudo-interstellar gate at the old location.
The preparation work would probably take three days, and Wang Jixuan naturally couldn't be idle. He used the mechanical body to search for the traces of the three cultivators.
He quickly gained something.
These three cultivators were two women and one man. The middle-aged scholar staying next to the giant tree looked gentle and refined, and there was no hostility on his body.
He should have sensed the sleeping spirit body inside the giant tree and was trying to communicate with the treant Beta.
It was a pity that Beta had no response.
The other two female cultivators should be from the Heavenly Net and the Dark Sect respectively. They had jade cicadas with the logos of the two families on them.
They had already discovered each other, and each used a wisp of aura to lead them. Their specific strength was probably in the middle stage of the Great Ascension Realm.
What to do?
Recognize the Heavenly Net people and then kill the Dark Sect disciple?
Wang Jixuan didn't want to expose himself, nor did he want to attract more Dark Sect people and Heavenly Net people to Earth.
All he wanted was a window of opportunity for him to open the pseudo-interstellar gate.
After careful consideration, a plan to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger gradually took shape...
